About this entry

79% of key specs known. Missing: weight, hardening, end links, clasp micro-adjust.

Second version (V2) of the WD16500, a 38mm Seiko VK63 meca-quartz chronograph (V2: "noticeably more slim", better-finished bracelet with screw pins). Brand specs: 316L steel, 38mm without crown, 46.6mm lug-to-lug, 11.55mm including the flat sapphire crystal (clear AR coating, side not stated), fixed ceramic bezel (steel on the Dark Blue option), Swiss BGW9 lume on dial and hands, screw-down crown, brushed screw-down caseback, 100m, 20mm lugs. Bracelet: 20mm with screw pins and screw-pin end links, milled adjustment clasp (the store says Watchdives' OTF clasp also fits); the SKUs name a three-link bracelet (三株钢带) and the photos show an oyster style; taper and micro-adjust positions are not stated. The tachymeter scale is read from the photos. The VK63 has a date, but no dial shows a date window, so it is left out of the complications. Chinese SKUs name the Daytona (迪同拿), which the dial and bezel follow. Prices are the store's; the crossed-out $119 "compare at" price is not recorded. Only Sunray Light Blue was in stock on 2026-10-24. Weight is not stated.
